| Description of the problem | Went to dodge dealership for routine tire rotation and alignment and they informed me that i needed all 4 ball joints replaced at only 62,833 miles to the cost of $3,000 (no mention of a possible defect) doing research on the replacement of these ball joints i found the complaints and decided to file one as well. This definitely poses a danger to my family as well as others who may not be aware of the possible defect. |
